A Recap of the 76ers vs Suns Game

Because of players Chris Paul and Devin Booker, the Suns are now the second-best team in the NBA. Chris Paul led the way with his amazing performance of 28 points and 8 assists, while Devin Booker added 19 points and 7 assists. But, the 76ers put up quite a fight, especially Joel Embiid, who was close to making one of the greatest shots in NBA history. Embiid’s monstrous performance almost resulted in the biggest play of the night. He scored 38 points, pulled in 17 rebounds and had four assists. It was a close game. With only 0.8 seconds remaining on the clock, Embiid tried to tie out the scores by hoisting a full-court shotput of an attempt. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to make the shot.
